i've googled, with no success

either someone with better googling skills than me, or someone who has owned the bike

not a great deal, two strokes drink fuel like mad. On my RGV250 I get about 25mpg, and on my Gas Gas Pampera which is a 220cc single, I get about 28mpg.

But, I think that scooters will use more, as the engine is at higer revs more of the time. I'd take an educated guess at about 25 ish MPG.

{edit} not to mention a litre of £12 fully synth every six to eight tanks of fuel... {edit}

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

im hoping that scooters are tuned more for economy than the bikes you mentioned, but this may be wishful thinking

yeah i know its the ultimate boy racer scooter, thats why i want one. i want something nippy for slow speed filtering, but with enough power for a little stretch of dual carriageway, and for pulling away quickly

its gonna be quite a bit more than the more sensible 4 stroke vxr 200 though

a runner 180 2 stroke will do about 85-100 miles to a tank which is a tiny bit more then 2 gallons

my 4 stroke does between 125 -160 miles for the same money

My 125 stroker does 40-60mpg depending on how much i'm trhashing it.

Will probably depend on what state of tune the engine is in - do you know how much power it develops?

My RXS100 does about 90mpg in normal use, but if you really cane it I've had that down to 60-65mpg.
